which assets if any would hold their value?

Gold?

Anything else?

I dont know if one is coming, who does,[I realise that last March to May there was a 25% crash for two months?], but wanted to know if there is to be a crash on perhaps the scale of the US Great Depression one, what would people advise, to "store" "wealth"?

What is a long-lasting crash anyway? There has never been one.

You only need to worry about storage costs for gold if you are buying millions of pounds worth. Make sure your investments are diversified. It will spread your risk. Thinks about investing in different sectors. Tech stocks are having a wobble, for instance, whereas banking stocks are strengthening.

We diversified. Didnt put money into stocks and shares, thankfully.

Looks like a crash could be on it's way. Well in the US. But that would impact us here too I would have thought. In ways I am unable to quantify.
